[0012] Figure 2 A side view of a welding strip extension portion of a welding strip and busbar connection structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In the prior art, the contact area between the traditional round wire welding strip or triangular welding strip and the tin layer of the busbar is small, which is prone to cold welding and insufficient welding tension. In addition, the height of the welding strip and the busbar after welding is relatively high. When laminating and packaging photovoltaic modules, especially packaging ultra-thin TOPCon modules, the buffer distance between the adhesive film layer and the back glass becomes smaller, which is prone to explosion abnormalities. In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a welding strip and busbar connection structure.

[0014] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The welding strip and bus bar connection structure comprises a welding strip extension 1 and a bus bar 2. The welding strip extension 1 extends from the end of the battery string 3, and the welding strip extension 1 has a conductive inner core and a flux coating coated on the surface of the conductive inner core, and the free end of the conductive inner core has a flat section 4. The welding strip extension 1 is arranged crosswise with the bus bar 2, the flat section 4 is placed on the surface of the bus bar 2, and the flux coating and the bus bar 2 form an alloy structure.

[0016] The battery string 3 includes a plurality of battery cells connected in series by a welding ribbon group. The welding ribbon on the end battery cell of the battery string 3 extends outward to form a welding ribbon extension portion 1. The welding ribbon extension portion 1 can be welded to the bus bar 2 to collect the current collected from the battery cell to the bus bar 2. There can be multiple welding ribbon extension portions 1 of the end battery cell in parallel.

[0017] In the prior art, the middle welding strip connecting the middle battery cells of the battery string 3 in series and the end welding strip connected to the end battery cells are welding strips of the same shape. However, the middle welding strip connecting the middle battery cells of the battery string 3 of the present disclosure is a conventional welding strip, such as a completely round wire welding strip or a completely triangular welding strip, or a segmented welding strip flattened near the battery cell gap, and the free end of the welding strip extension portion 1 extending from the end battery cell of the battery string 3 of the present disclosure is flat.

[0018] On the production line, the free end of the conductive inner core of the soldering strip can be flattened, and then a flux coating is coated on the surface of the conductive inner core to form the end soldering strip of the structure described in the present disclosure.

[0019] The flat segment 4 is overlapped on the busbar 2 and infrared or electromagnetic heating can be used. If the welding strip is a low-temperature welding strip, the high temperature during lamination can also be used to melt the flux coating on the surface of the flat segment 4 to form an alloy structure with the busbar 2.

[0020] The utility model arranges the portion where the welding strip is welded to the bus bar 2 to be flat, thereby increasing the contact area between the welding strip and the bus bar 2, improving the ability to withstand welding tension, and at the same time reducing the height after the circular welding strip is welded to the bus bar 2, thereby reducing the force load between the back glass and the welding strip during lamination.

[0021] In one embodiment, the length of the flat section 4 is greater than the width of the busbar 2. The flat section 4 extends to the end of the welding ribbon extension 1, and the length of the flat section 4 is greater than the width of the busbar 2. When the welding ribbon extension 1 intersects with the busbar 2, the flat section 4 is completely on the busbar 2.

[0022] In one embodiment, the conductive core is copper.

[0023] In one embodiment, the material of the solder coating is a tin alloy. For example, the material of the solder coating is one of tin-lead alloy, tin-lead-silver alloy, tin-silver-copper alloy, tin-silver alloy, tin-lead-bismuth alloy and tin-silver-bismuth alloy. The front side of the busbar is also provided with a solder coating, and the material is the same as the solder coating material on the surface of the solder strip.

[0024] In one embodiment, the cross section of the portion of the welding strip extension 1 other than the flat section 4 is circular or triangular.

[0025] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
